This is from our local paper, October 7. It would be bad enough having 20 or so kids in a class if your child had allergies or special needs. They aren't talking about allergies in the article just numbers, but I have to assume there are some special needs that some of these 34 children require extra care with. I am freaking out about jr. k next year as it is an to think of a classroom with 2 adults and this many children would really make me consider keeping DS at home.

They are talking about the high enrolment for full day kindergarten and jr. kindergarten.

"...staff expressed concern after the uptake in the program swelled....thirty-four students is a lot to begin with, let alone being three to five year olds," he said. Each class is staffed with one teacher and one early childhood educator. ...Thirty four kids in a classroom with two adults is too crammed. .."
